Stephen Bannon has already been ousted from his job as White House chief strategist, frozen out by the far-right media organization he helped lead into the spotlight and publicly lambasted by his former boss, President Donald Trump. Now the would-be far-right leader is being told once again that he’s not welcome — this time, in Europe.
Over the weekend, reports emerged that Alexander Gauland, co-chairman of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD), had bluntly dismissed Bannon's plans to coordinate a pan-European alliance of right-wing groups.
"We're not in America," Gauland told Der Westen, a news website in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
